Getting straight to the point: the belt buckle has been moved backwards, with the tongue on the right where it doesn't help, rather than on the left. You can flip the strap, but then the loose end of the strap will block use of the tongue. I will find a local seamstress to take the belt apart and attach the buckle with the tongue on the left side. Unfortunately the bar will be at the bottom, not the top (check the BDU 5.11 belt or better to see how it should be), but then the belt can be used.
